Melanie shared a testimony about how her marriage was restored by God after her husband left.
Her Story
Melanie married her husband when she was very young. The 12 years they were married were the best of their lives. However, after 12 years of marriage, she found out that her husband had been cheating on her.
“And when I did, it took me on a journey. So the first time that I began to work on hearing God’s voice… I was lying on my bedroom floor, and I heard Him ask me a question. And I said, ‘Oh, okay, is my marriage over?’ And I heard no before I could even finish my thought,” she said.
Melanie’s friend advised her to pray and ask God what the key was. This was the week of her divorce proceedings.
Marriage Restored Because Of…
Melanie prayed in obedience, and the next morning, God revealed to her an image of a ‘key’ with the word love.
No matter what her husband did, she began to love him unconditionally. Melanie didn’t conceal anything from her daughters—an eight-year-old and a five-year-old—during that period, so they witnessed her praying and when she was hurt.
“And we would play praise and worship music, and we would dance and go to church. And we would pray for Daddy,” she recalled.

Then, the day finally came. Her daughter sprinted over to Melanie the moment her daddy stepped out the door, shouting, “Mom, our prayers worked, daddy’s coming home!”
“And that was just amazing because I was so broken and hurt but trying to be a mom. And the enemy gets in there and says, “You’re failing, you’re not doing enough,’” Melanie recalled.
Marriage Restored After Unexpected Infidelity
She was grateful that their daughters got to experience firsthand that God answered prayers.
Later on, the couple had a restoration ceremony and remarried. Their marriage has finally been restored after more than four years of separation. Her husband has returned home, and they are expecting their third child.
“The four years that my husband was gone were a journey for God to be enough. No matter what happened with my marriage, no matter what happened with my life, I came to the point where it didn’t matter because all I had was Jesus. And that was good,” she concluded.
